Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI),
a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art, flexible thin-film
photovoltaic modules integrated into the company's EnerPlex™ series of
consumer products, announced today four (4) of the company’s EnerPlex
products won Red Dot Awards for Product Design from the Essen, Germany
based awards conference: the Generatr
1200, Generatr
100, Jumpr
Quad and Jumpr
Stack series.

Robert
Meck, Vice President of Product Engineering for EnerPlex said, “We
as a company are honored to have our products recognized by the esteemed
Red Dot Organization. Red Dot is an internationally recognized symbol of
innovative and quality design, and the four EnerPlex products awarded
embody those standards powerfully.”
The EnerPlex Jumpr™
Quad is a 4x AA and AAA battery recharger, which has the unique
distinction of also functioning as a power bank with a standard 5-volt
USB output when the batteries are charged, allowing users to power a
wide variety of devices. “I spend as much time outside of the office
outdoors, climbing; and I realized that while a majority of my gear
relied on a standard micro-USB input internal battery there were still
items like my backup Maglite which needed AAs and AAAs, which is where
the concept of the Jumpr
Quad was born,” said Mr. Meck.
The EnerPlex Generatr™ 100
and 1200
are ultra-lightweight lithium-ion based batteries, capable of storing
immense amounts of power in an extremely compact and durable frame.
Weighing up to 60% less than batteries using traditional technology, the Generatrs
can go farther and power more than any battery before them.
The EnerPlex Jumpr™
Stack series, the Stack
3, Stack
6 and Stack
9 are a pioneering family of batteries equipped with dual micro-USB
and Lightning tethered connectors, allowing users to charge their phone,
tablet or other device directly from the battery without extra cables or
accessories. The Jumpr Stack series is also set apart by its inventive
Stack and Charge design which enables multiple batteries to be charged
from a single cable. “For every electronics user today, the tangle of
cables that exists on your kitchen counter, in your purse or on your
desk is a nuisance; the Jumpr Stack series was designed to eliminate
cords and cables whenever possible, simplifying your life,” concluded
Mr. Meck.
